Who am I?

Who am I?

Just your everyday aspiring biologist! I graduated from Nipissing University in 2015 with my Bachelor of Science in Biology. I may be pursuing a different career path now, but that hasn't stopped me from running back into the woods with my camera whenever I get the chance!

May 18 2015

Happy Victoria Day!

I went for a walk earlier this morning on the Trans Canada Trail, and spotted a Baltimore Oriole and a Scarlet Tanager, but unfortunately couldn't get any photos of them before they flew off.  However, I went back out later, and was able to find the Baltimore Oriole again!

Savannah Sparrow - the yellow on the head is one of their distinguishing features

These guys have eluded me for a while - I've seen flashes of them as they fly by, but haven't been able to get a photo of them - but I managed to get one today! Downy Woodpecker


I rarely see these guys sit still, so it was quite exciting to see them! Ruby-throated Hummingbird (I believe there was a pair flying around)

Eastern Kingbirds can be quite different looking depending on where they are, or the time of day - they're constantly changing!

Yellow Warblers are one of my favourite birds to spot - there's just something about that bright flash of yellow as they fly by!

And finally - my Baltimore Oriole! He didn't want to sit still for me, and I had to chase him a few times before I was able to get this photo - lifer for me!
